Life is good.

Within the last year, I've taken up yoga classes at my campus rec center. I've also come to the realization that yoga is really good for me. An hour dedicated to stretching, breathing, and letting go the stress from the outside world? Yes, please. Yoga is probably one of the best things I can do for myself right now (next to getting a personal masseuse).

It goes without saying, then, that a Tuesday beginning with yoga will be a good day. And it was: cool, cloudy weather, cancelled classes, easygoing homework/work-work, fresh tortilla soup, and a turtle latte to top it all off.

That last little indulgence (I am such a sucker for sweet coffee) may cost me a few hours of sleep, as it's T-minus 35 minutes to bedtime and I'm highly caffeinated, but it's worth it. An English structure class last year taught me the joys of pairing homework with coffee, and the two are linked in my mind's pleasure centers. Isn't that a nice twist, relaxing by doing homework? I've got to do more of those mental hotwiring jobs...maybe if I link doing dishes to eating pie, somehow. Hmm. This may require more research (and lots of pie).
